Do we, or do we not have freedom of religion in this country?

And, by the way, you failed to answer my question about the appropriateness of the President recognizing Klanzaa - the fictitious KKK holiday. Why is that? Do you cede the point or are you just trying to change the subject and turn this Kwanzaa thread into a religious flameware about the predominant religion in Utah?

First and foremost, there is no such thing as Klanzaa...so to carry on a discussion about what someone may do under a completely hypothetical situation is a load of garbage.

It's not me trying to turn this discussion into a religious flame war.

Simply stated.

By and in large, the observants of Kwanza (I know some) are not members of racial hate groups, and in spite of the fact that the history of the Kwanza creator may be filled with violence and hate, his sins do not fall on the observers, any more than children will be put to death for their fathers.

They are guilty of little more than celebrating a made up holiday.

As a matter of fact, my Kwanza observant friends observe Christmas.

Perhaps you should educate yourself in the meaning of Kawanza, for it is neither a religious or a political Holiday,and in no way seeks to replace Christmas.
